Codorus State Park Campground welcomes dogs throughout its wooded camping areas with specific pet-friendly loops designated for campers traveling with animals. Located near Seven Valleys, the park maintains clean, spacious sites where pets are permitted on leashes no longer than 6 feet. The campground features electric hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings at pet-approved sites. Indian Rock Campgrounds also accommodates pets with creek-side camping options where many campers report minimal mosquito issues despite the water proximity. Bathrooms at these facilities are generally well-maintained, though Indian Rock's showers operate on push buttons that only stay on for a few seconds. The campsites at Codorus are particularly spacious, providing ample room for dogs to rest at camp while remaining leashed. Gifford Pinchot State Park offers additional pet-friendly accommodations with similar amenities.
Multiple hiking trails provide exercise opportunities for leashed pets, including Mary Ann Furnace Trail at Codorus which leads to a scenic lake setting particularly beautiful during fall foliage season. Dogs must remain on leash on all park trails and common areas. The historic rail trail accessible directly from Indian Rock Campgrounds property creates an excellent walking path for dogs and owners. During summer months, pets need adequate shade and water as some camping areas have limited tree cover, especially at Indian Rock where the upper sites are notably exposed. Park rangers regularly patrol the campgrounds but generally don't interfere with responsible pet owners. The nearby town of Hanover provides veterinary services and pet supply options, including the Utz chips outlet that some campers visit during their stay. Campgrounds enforce quiet hours which helps manage barking and maintains peaceful camping conditions.

1. Merry Meadows Recreation Farm
"Our dog was welcomed. Will definitely be going back. This was our first trip with our camper ever and everyone was helpful"
"It was a VERY dark walk to get to the bathhouse for showers. And the fire pit had no grill, so we ended up having to use the stoves of some RV camping friends for meals."
2. Thousand Trails Gettysburg Farm
"The bathroom near the pool left a little something to be desired. It wasn’t filthy but also wasn’t sparking clean. It was great being close to the battlefield."
"We were there around Halloween and they had decorated the park so nicely. The sounds of the farm animals all around was fun and amusing for us."
3. Cedar Lake Family Campground
"Nice lake for fishing. Easy check in. Nice little store. About an hour away from Hershey where we went to the RV show. We will come back if we are in the area again"
"Just takes away from the rural feel. Cabin was clean and perfect. Grounds were very clean. Toilet and showers clean. Golf carts a little dated but overall good. Night time was serene and quite."
Check Availabilityfrom $60 - $100 / night
4. Artillery Ridge Campground
"We have a motorhome with no additional vehicle and two dogs, and this site couldn’t have been more perfect for us. A dog park, walking distance to most everything we wanted to see."
"Kids loved being able to see them and get close and even pet them! This campground is minutes from town and is practically on the battlefield."

"We were surprised to find this nice little spot next to the creek right outside of town. There’s a spot right next to it but was unoccupied while we were there so we were all alone."
6. Elizabethtown-Hershey KOA
"A little pricey and strict for vistors, they need to leave by 10 and can’t bring their pets."
"There was a bathhouse and dish sink nearby, as well as the entrance to a nice little nature trail a few sites down. "

Peggy C.TravelerCountry Acres Campground
Lovely campground!
Country Acres is a lovely, well maintained campground. Sites are level and bath house facilities clean and modern. Friendly staff in the office. Dog friendly. Local to all the Lancaster attractions. A complimentary farmland tour is offered by bus and it was great. They take you out into an area of Amish farms and shops and make a stop at 2 of these. The fresh Amish pretzels are amazing!

GuideArtillery Ridge Campground
Great campsite. Fire pit, picnic table, swimming pool ( not open), miniature golf course, laundromat, bathrooms, showers, dump station, gathering areas for groups, playground, and even a horse area and stalls for horses. Dog friendly. Staff was very helpful and curious.
Pam R.GuideGifford Pinchot State Park Campground
We booked two nights mid October not realizing that it's duck hunting season and that hunting is allowed RIGHT by the campground - with kids everywhere. We were jolted out of sleep at 5 am by gun fire right near our site. It kept up for the next hour. In addition, the bathrooms, although clean are in poor condition. Peeling paint everywhere with bare concrete in the showers. For such a pretty site, we had a miserable stay. We left after one night.

Codorus State Park Campground
Hurricane camping
You just can't beat a pennsylvania park. This one is not an exception. Nice clean restroom, plenty of room. Now, what cost a star. Yes, it rained like hell. When we broke camp and go dump. The dump station was overflowing with sewer. Go to the guard shack to tell them, and find another site. None there. Can I go to an unused full hookup to dump? No! I would have to pay for the site. Two hours later, we found a place to dump for $10.

Never Again
The advertisements for Olde Mill Campground were disingenuous. The campsite was 20 yards from a roller coaster. The NOISE of the roller coaster and children on it screaming was as relentless and unnerving as any train we have ever slept near. There was no quiet until almost midnight. The “pull-through” site left my truck almost in the road and our 25’ Airstream slightly over the road on the backside. The site was not level. The sites were close enough to hear a neighbor’s snoring.

Hosack Run
Quiet & Dog friendly - 20minutes from Gettysburg Battfields
This pet friendly campground in Caledonia State Park is .8 miles from the larger Chinquapin campground (no pets), ranger station and swimming pool. Our site #171 was level, paved, full hook ups and next to modern clean bathrooms with flush toilets, warm showers and outside dish washing sinks. Many available sites with and without services on a Sunday in October. There were a good number of friendly, tidy, long term campers with large wall tents. (They allow 21 day stays after Labor Day)
Adam and Suzanne B.GuideBeacon Hill Camping
Great location
We stayed here to go to the Hershey RV show—about 55 min drive. Right in the center of Amish country. Campground is adults only. It was very clean. The bathrooms were very clean with great water pressure. The roads are tight for getting into sites. Site 5 was not level side to side. We met great people there.
